Well; so much for the new leader of the Liberal Party being the death knoll for the Party. Following on the debacle of the Turnbull fiasco, Tony Abbott's results yesterday were amazing. Exit polls showed that the pundits were wrong again. The Labor machine had suggested a massive fall out from the women voters. It didn't eventuate. The loss of support was approximate 1% for both men & women, an amazing result.
Lindsay Tanner has been very critical of the Liberal ability to run the economy. Talk about hypocracy. Labor started just over 2 years ago with $21 billion in the bank & the official figure, for the June 2009 Quarter showed a deficit of $13.3 billion for only that 3 months.
